摘要:The study explored the problems associated with and attempted to identify good practice in public sector project selection procedures for developing countries with reference to the local authorities. A case study research design was adopted and the study location was in Kisumu County Council, Nyanza Province, Kenya. The population comprised of all the Local Authorities Transfer Fund (LATF) committee members and project beneficiaries within the various wards of the council. The following sampling methods were used to select various samples: disproportionate stratified sampling for the council wards; area sampling for the project beneficiaries and simple random sampling for the committee members. Primary data was collected through structured and unstructured questionnaires and analysed using descriptive statistics. No clear selection models were found to exist for prioritising projects to meet community’s needs and managers tasked with project selection possessed limited skills in project selection and implementation.
